Yesterday I went to a Tampa Bay Rays game at Tropicana Field down in St.Pete and they had the fans clearing out fast. There was no dilly-dallying.
There were a bunch of 99%-ers protesting outside the Trop where the RNC members were having a cocktail party.
Bunch of idiots.

Just found out today, the Tampa police have purchased a sound cannon which orders people to disburse in a very very loud voice in alternately Spanish and English. The voice is my nephew’s. I’m really quite proud.

I think that’s because it is a Kukri. The headline writer is an idiot.

At least the writer didn’t call it an AK47.

That's not a machete, that's a kukri. I guess we now need a knife identification guide to match the classic AK-47 recognition guide.
You want machetes. . . .

When I was a kid, I had a machete. It was a lot bigger than that.

“Kukri Machete.”
I looked at machetes on Amazon a few months ago and didn't get one. Think it would be good for cutting down some small, light weight limbs/vines that grow over into my garden from the neighbor's side. Such a device is also good for lopping off heads of zombies.
What kind/brand do you suggest? I don't want to have to get a loan at the bank to buy it.
